James 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Circumstances in life only get worse when you give up.  It is easier to just give up, but it takes more energy to fail than to succeed.  Keep striving for a better you.  Keep pressing for growth.  Allow God to take you to the next level and you'll be so grateful for not giving up.
